Take It For Granite

FA Charles Cole & Gib Lewis, 1982

UPDATED 

Description

Technical thin/finger crack with jamming and liebacking off the ground to a crux midway up the first crack easing to hands, followed by a large flat ledge and an easier short yet steep arching finger crack to the top. The pro is not great at the crux, but you can get some small brass there. The second should be solid for this one; the traverse out of the first crack to the ledge sets up a good-sized pendulum fall. Pumpy for the rating.

Location

Facing Frontal Lobotomy, this route is about 50 yards to the left, up the gully (this is the obvious drainage left of Comic Book). It is easily visible as a clean crack that reaches the right side of a ledge at 2/3 height followed by another slightly arching crack starting at the center of the ledge and topping out.

Protection

Mostly thin to fingers with a hand-sized piece or two. Small brass can be useful at the crux.
